For centuries the Bering Sea’s bounty has supported economies around the world, as
nations have sought to exploit fur and other resources. In the mid-19
th
century, whal-
ing reached its peak as oil and baleen were sought after commodities. Today, the Ber-
ing Sea accounts for more than half the total seafood catch in the U.S. In Alaska, fi-
sheries provide the second largest number of jobs. There are many signs that this
“Sea of Plenty” is not an endless resource. People around the Bering Sea are con-
cerned about declines in species, and other changes signaling that all in the Bering
Sea is not well. For example,
…. numerous fisheries have collapsed in the last 2 decades, including red king crab
and more recently, opelio and snow crabs;
…. herring, capelin and other forage fish important to wildlife have been declining
since the mid-1990 s;
…. seven of the great whales found in the Bering Sea are listed as endangered under
the federal Endangered species Act;
…. other marine mammals are in decline, such as the northern fur seal; and … the sea
otter down by an average of 70% through out the Alentian islands. Perhaps, no other
species has received as much attention and notoriety as the Steller Sea Lion. In the
last 30 years the species has declined by 50-80% throughout its range. There are im-
portant factors which are no doubt playing a role in the Bering Sea environment.
These are: Global Climate change
…. the extent of the sea ice cover-a critical habitat
for many marine mammals-has shrink by 5% in the last 30 years. … Wamer sea sur-
face temperature in 1997 and 1998 gave us a preview of the future-we observed un-
usual algae blooms, massive die-offs of 3 species of seabirds, and low salmon return
in certain areas of the Bering Sea.
Toxic Pollution
Throughout the ecoregion, scientists are finding the presence of contaminants such as
Persistent Pollutants (POPS). POPS are long-lasting, travel long distances and can in-
terfere with reproduction of humans and wild-life. These contaminants are appearing
in wild life that are far from the source of the pollution.
